Chelsea are considering recalling Andrey Santos from his loan at Nottingham Forest in January just over a month after he arrived at the club.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old midfielder is still waiting to make his Premier League debut having appeared just once in a Carabao Cup defeat against Burnley on August 30.<\/p>\n
He was not even a part of Steve Cooper’s matchday squad against Manchester City on September 23.<\/p>\n
The Brazilian, who joined the Blues from\u00a0Vasco da Gama, was in excellent form in pre-season but Chelsea are overloaded with expensive midfielders.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His lack of playing time has certainly frustrated Chelsea fans who were excited to see the young talent develop.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chelsea are considering recalling Andrey Santos from his loan at Nottingham Forest just over a month after he arrived at the club<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Brazilian international is yet to make his Premier League debut for Forest after Steve Cooper left him out of his matchday squad against Manchester City on September 23<\/p>\n
Now, there are calls for Chelsea to recall him in January by activating a break clause in the loan agreement, according\u00a0 to The Athletic.<\/p>\n
Forest are also said to incur mutually-agreed financial penalties for not playing Santos when he is fit.<\/p>\n
Santos was signed in a \u00a318million deal in January but did not meet the work permit criteria at the time and returned to his former club on loan.<\/p>\n
After seeing out the remainder of the season in Brazil, Santos has since returned to west London and continued training with the Blues ahead of his work permit application.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old was seen as a wonderkid in his homeland of Brazil before the Blues beat Manchester City and Newcastle to his signature.<\/p>\n
Santos has already proved he has experience beyond his years after making his debut for the Brazilian national team in March this year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Chelsea’s midfield is currently stacked with expensive players following the British record fee \u00a3115m signing of Moises Caceido\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old Brazilian midfielder wowed in pre-season for the Blues to the delight of fans<\/p>\n
Reflecting on his time so far with the Brazil senior squad, the central midfielder said: ‘It is an incredible experience. A dream come true, I’m very happy.<\/p>\n
‘I feel at home, they welcomed me very well. Being at Casemiro’s side, at the side of an idol, is a dream for me. I’m living a dream, and it’s helping me a lot.<\/p>\n
‘And I hope to be able to reciprocate his help on the field and the experience he gave me too.’<\/p>\n
